题目内容

The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive(难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games

Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it's more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need. Even though they don't have enough money, they buy everything they want.

The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isn't a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.

Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can ___________. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don't have. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison.

试题分析：文中讲述了一些令人上瘾的东西，其中主要列举了购物癖及其危害。

1.信息查找题。由第一段可知，共列了六种能够让人上瘾的东西即shopping, drinking, playing computer games, working, watching TV, taking drugs.

2.信息归纳题。由下文They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it.可知这个单词指的是那些喜爱购物而且不能够为此停止花钱的人。故归纳填people who simply enjoy shopping and spending money without being able to stop.

3.信息转换题。第三段第一句The question is: why do they have this addiction?提出了问题，下文都是对此做出的解答。所以变换一下表达方式就可以得出准确的答案。故填The reason why some people/ shopaholics have shopping addiction或The possible reasons for shopaholism/ shopping addition

4.信息归纳题。关键是上下文要连贯。上文提到，购物癖看起来是没有害处的瘾，但是……，所以要从有害的角度来说；下文也是从这个角度谈论的。故填cause/ bring about/ result in many problems。

5.信息查找题。Accordingly：根据情况来说，同原文中的“If this is the case”——如果这是事实的话，意思接近。 turn to…for help:求助…。找到这两个关键地方就能准确找出答案。故填If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.

As a Senior Three student, it won’t take long after I graduate. Now, I have many to share with my fellow students.

Firstly, I’d like to show my appreciation to those stood by me all the way, teachers, parents and friend included. Without their help, my life will be different. Secondly, it’s high time I said sorry to the classmates I once hurt or misunderstood. I firm believe that communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Thirdly, I’ve made my mind to make every effort to study, as I know hard work is the key to a success. Finally I want to express my hope which all the young fellows should make full use of time, so time and tide wait for no man.

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few. For example, the average among students is about 6 per person.

In the beginning, it much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.

We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.

Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests — they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion.

In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.

1.Why should we consider such things as age and background when making friends?

A. Because people of different age can’t have the same interest.

B. Because people who enjoy different social status have nothing in common.

C. Because when making friends people need know these.

D. Because differences in age and background make it difficult to make friends.

2.From the passage we know that ______.

A. we should hold ceremonies to celebrate our friendship

B. we can’t make friends with the people of different races

C. friends should understand each other

D. argument and discussion may break down the friendship.

3.According to the author, unfriendliness may be caused by ______.

A. worried expressions B. nervousness

C. different opinions D. wrong words

The arts, especially music, should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.

Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang(团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.

Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.

Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.

1.According to the passage, music could make students smarter by __________.

A. improving their classroom skills and paying attention

B. improving their classroom skills and imagination

C. improving their attention, direction and imagination

D. learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas
